Mycorrhizae is a beneficial soil fungus that grows on the roots of your trees and helps them take up water and nutrients more effectively. Similar to inoculating plants like beans and peas prior to planting. If you select this option we will include a packet of mycorrhizae granules with your trees. Just sprinkle in the hole prior to planting and you're good to go. We don't plant anything here at the farm without using it ourselves!

Water Oaks are a lesser known member of the oak family but we'd like to change that. Water oaks can make a great addition to any hunting property especially if you have wet areas where nothing else will grow. As the name implies these trees can handle wet areas. A couple of months of flooding during the winter is no problem for these trees. Don't limit them to wet sites though, they do just as well in drier upland areas.
Water oaks produce small acorns. This coupled with their water tolerance make them a great option to plant around duck ponds and in flood prone areas to provide a food source for ducks. Natural stands of flooded water oak make for fantastic wood duck hunting. Other species like deer and turkeys utilize water oaks acorns as well.
Adaptable, water tolerant, and great for waterfowl. These oaks make a great addition to any hunting property.
You must protect your trees with one of our Tree Tubes to be covered under our Survival Guarantee. Please read the full details here
